Ganguly was hospitalized in Kolkata on January 2 after suffering a heart attack while working out in a gym. He was rushed to the hospital where he underwent an angioplasty operation. He spent five days in the hospital and was discharged on January 7.
Cardiac surgeon, Devi Shetty, who examined Ganguly back then, had previously said that the former captain was advised to undergo his remaining angioplasty two weeks after being discharged.
As of now, the former captain is kept under the observation of Dr. Aftab Khan. Stents will be implanted on his arteries by conducting angioplasty procedure only after a 4-member medical board constituted for his treatment feels the need to do so.
